As a swim parent you probably realize that there is much more involved than swimming up and down the pool or counting the medals won by our Olympians. Swimming does not exist in a vacuum. Many of the controversial topics in our society also affect our sport. Items in this section touch on many of these issues, including Title IX, high school swimming, boys in the sport, minority participation, and disordered eating. Here you can also find articles on college swimming, recruiting, year round swimming and foreign athletes. The articles included are selected from the archives of Splash magazine.
